【題目】閱讀理解
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced(影響)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
(1)Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A.The man's job was bike racing.
B.It was their only possession.
C.It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D.They used it for work and daily life.
(2)We can infer from the text that ____________.
A.the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B.people were busy before Christmas
C.the stranger brought over the bike
D.life was hard for the young family.
(3)How did people get to know the couple's problem?
A.From radio broadcasts.
B.From a newspaper.
C.From TV news.
D.From a stranger.

【答案】
(1)D
(2)D
(3)B
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文,講述了一對艱辛度日的年輕夫婦,在丟失家里唯一的一輛自行車后,登報求出,得到許多人幫助的故事。告訴我們,有時候一個善意的行動可能對別人意味著很多事情,愛是能夠傳遞的。
(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的”The bike, ablack Kona 18 speed, was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work,putting in 60-hour a week to support his young family.And the bike was alsoused to get groceries(食品雜貨), saving us from having to walk longdistances from where we live.“可知這輛自行車在我的家里起著很大的作用。故D正確。
(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的”Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品雜貨), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live“,可知這一家人生活比較困難,故答案選D。
(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story“可知人們通過報紙知道的這個情況。故B正確。

【題目】閱讀理解
When people ask me to name typical British dishes,I have,however,struggled to think of an answer.Yes,we do have our own national dishes.We do have fish and chips,and we have other dishes like roast dinner and shepherd's pie.But how much do we actually eat them?
Fish and chips,is made up of battered(絞碎的)fish and chips,which is often accompanied by a thick paste(醬). The majority of British people really do love this dish but it is not something that we would eat,say,on a weekly basis.It's also not usually something that we would cook at home.The British people associate this dish with the seaside and it's something that will usually be eaten on a day trip there,bought from a takeaway fish and chip shop.
Another favourite British dish is roast dinner.This is made up of roast meat,usually chicken or beef, accompanied by roast vegetables and a meat sauce called gravy(肉汁).It is usually eaten on a Sunday,perhaps for a special family dinner.It can either be cooked at home or eaten in a traditional pub.We also eat a more elaborate version of this for our Christmas dinner.
Although we do have our traditional dishes,our diet has been greatly influenced by other countries.You can find a wide range of international foods in the supermarket or varieties of different restaurants on our high streets.A famous saying amongst British people is that our national dish is now chicken tikka masala,a dish which is heavily influenced by Indian cuisine.
Don't expect to be served a traditional dish if you ever get invited for dinner at a British family's home!
(1)What do you know about fish and chips?
A.It is a home cooking for the British people.
B.It is a seaside dish eaten on a day trip there.
C.It is a Sunday dish for a family dinner.

(2)What is special about roast dinner?

B.It is the top choice for a family dinner.
C.It is the most popular with foreigners.
D.It comes from a foreign cuisine.
(3)Which of the following might be an international food?

C.Shepherd's pie.
D.Chicken tikka masala.

【題目】Have you ever imagined traveling to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?

In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built - in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid. It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents firmly hold the idea that this technology is approaching and they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.

It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent (同義詞) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.

It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t--or shouldn’t--involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.

Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression:volume,gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.

Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.

1What view does the author hold about translation?

A. Proper translation can be tough for humans.

B. Slight differences matter little in translation.

C. Some machines will interpret our world properly.

D. Cultures deserve more attention than words used.

2What is the best title for the text?

A. An Expert’s Precise Prediction

B. The Complexity of Translation

C. Who Will Be a Better Translator

D. Will Language Barrier Actually Disappear?

3What is the author’s attitude to the modem technology?

A. Unclear B. Objective

C. Optimistic D. Negative.

4In which column can you read the article in a newspaper?

A. Language Learning. B. Comments on hot issues.

C. Science Development. D. Translation tips.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Culture Shock
Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.
Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place.
The next stage is “the hostility(敵意)stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. Moreover, people don't treat you like a guest anymore.
Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. The whole situation starts to become more favorable and you begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.
The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good. The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.
Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.
It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).
A. You feel that friends should help each other to deal with culture shock.
B. And you try to develop comprehension of everything you don't understand.
C. In addition, culture shock is not limited to the overseas visitor.
D. You become tired of many things about the new culture.
E. You have learned enough to understand the new culture.
F. You begin to understand you need to travel a lot.
G. And everything seems to be marvelous and everybody seems to be so nice to you.
